Trivia: Molly Pitcher took her husband’s place in what battle?
Battle of Gettysburg
Siege of Yorktown
Battle of Monmouth
First Battle of Bull Run
The correct answer is Battle of Monmouth
So why is this answer correct? : Revolutionary War hero Molly Pitcher (born Mary McCauly) became a heroine of the Battle of Monmouth on June 28, 1778. According to legend, she carried buckets of water to cool the cannons and soldiers as they battled the British. After her husband, William Hays, was injured, Molly took his place in the gun crew. She survived the battle, and today, a monument at the battle site in New Jersey pays tribute to her efforts.
